Hormuz Shipping Traffic Remains Below 10-Day Average at Weekend, Data Shows
Preliminary shiptracking data showed 10 vessels entered the Gulf and four exited over the weekend, far below the strait’s 10-day average of 14.

- Over the weekend, 4 vessels exited the Gulf while 10 entered; the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations reported early Sunday that a vessel was struck by an unknown projectile.
- Saudi officials reported the East-West oil pipeline was temporarily shut down following a drone attack from Iraq, while a U.S. blockade of Iran-related shipping has halted Iranian crude oil exports since mid-July.
- In the Bab strait, 24 and 27 commodity vessels travelled through on Saturday and Sunday respectively, though figures exclude vessels with Automatic Identification System transponders turned off.
